Rationale: Cocaine addiction is marked by high relapse rates, often triggered by drug-associated cues in the environment. These can be conditioned stimuli (CSs), which occur after drug intake and signal drug delivery, and discriminative stimuli (DSs), which signal that seeking responses will produce drug, before any such responses have been initiated (i.e ...

The apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele is the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and is linked to poorer cerebrovascular health. Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an indicator of vascular reserve, and cerebral pulsatility (CP), a marker of vascular stiffness, are sensitive biomarkers of early vascular dysfunction associated with ...
